Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Recommendation. The Group 1 Manikato Stakes. Plenty of chances. I WISH I WIN (1) did enough fresh in the Moir here over 1000m, hitting the line well for fifth, beaten 1.1 lengths. His 1200m form is outstanding for this, it's just where he gets to in the run. GROWING EMPIRE (12) is an outstanding colt who has won both starts this time in. A high pressure 1200m is exactly what he wants and it wouldn't surprise if he measured right up and blew these away. HAYASUGI (13) was outstanding in the Moir from the back to grab second. 1200m is ideal, barrier two may prove a touch tricky. ESTRIELLA (8) started favourite in the Moir and was just fair but might be able to control this and prove hard to catch. COLEMAN (11) can also improve out of the Moir out to 1200m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to I Wish I Win.
